25 Years Ago Today - Ray Houghton

Time for a bit of nostalgia, it was 25 years ago today June 12th - on this day in 1962 three prisoners escaped from Alcatraz - 1964 Nelson Mandelawas jailed for life & in 1965 we first heard of the Rolling Stones. Of coure there were many other events, but in particular in 1988 Ray Houghton scored that significant goal against England in Stuttgart!& the man behind that winning goal for Ireland was Ray Houghton, who is on the line to Miriam this morning.

Miriam's next guest is comedienne, Anne Gildea, who is speaking to us from St. James's Hospital, having had an operation last Wednesday to reconstruct her breast. Many of our listeners will remember Anne's story of having cancer & it is nearly two years since Anne spoke to John Murray after getting the news she had breast cancer.

A Fantastic Fundraising concert 'A Musician & her Surgeon' takes place on June 18th in the Royal College of Surgeons @ 7.15pm. For further details & tickets go to http://beautifulabc.ie/
